Located on the Lost Coast of California only 230 miles north of San Francisco, is a small fishing community designed for a vacation get-away or a retreat home. Hidden for years is Shelter Cove, it’s secluded location makes it ideal for the weekender or residential community. Some may want a walk on the beach or spend the afternoon tidepooling, while others may just want to land at the airstrip and golf for the day. Hiking, camping and backpacking, and charter boat fishing are popular with visitors.

One can not help but enjoy the fabulous panorama of tidy homes, fir trees, deer, mountains, beaches and surf, not to mention the Pacific Ocean. The area is an eco-tourists dream. Also enjoy the Avenue of the Giant Redwood trees, and Sinkyone Wildlife State Park. Every turn in the road is a wonderful place to visit.

Because of the steep terrain on the coastal areas surrounding Shelter Cove, the highway builders constructing California State Route 1 decided it was too difficult to build the coastal highway along a long stretch of what is now the Lost Coast. As a result, the small fishing village of Shelter Cove remained very secluded from the rest of the populous state, and is accessible via small mountain road, by boat, or by a small airfield. As a result of its seclusion, the Shelter Cove area has become a popular spot for those seeking quiet vacation respite or retirement area. Popular activities in the area include fishing, whale watching, hiking, diving for abalone, surfing and other outdoor activities. The Cape Mendocino Light, a lighthouse from Cape Mendocino, was moved to Shelter Cove in 1998.
